Microsoft SharePoint 2013 for Site Owners

his course enables students to continue their development of front end SharePoint 2013 skills.

This course will educate the student in the practical daily tasks of navigating and contributing to SharePoint. This course will equip the student as a site owner to enhance the user experience and utilize more features; for example, create landing pages with multiple web parts, refine search results, and develop workflows.
